Stuart Skinner made 33 stops for the shutout, and the Oilers withstood a physical battle from the Kings to steal another game in Los Angeles and head home with a 3-1 series lead. Ryan Rishaug joins SC with Jay Onrait to discuss Skinner's performance, the physicality in the game, and how Edmonton continues to dominate on special teams.
Every Stanley Cup winning goalie starts with question marks until they win.
The Oilers aren’t winning the cup. Lol
@@shakrmakrthey currently have a 1/15 chance 🤷🏻♂️
Looks like Canada found their starting number 1 goalie for the 2026 Olympics in Stuart Skinner.
No. You got 2 years to go and he definitely hasn’t proven himself. He is playing a team in the playoffs that don’t even have one point a game player and are a very weak team.
@@shakrmakrimagine being this much of a oilers hater cause the leafs suck 😂
@@shakrmakrdon’t discredit the Kings. They’ve had to play Edmonton now 3 years straight in the first round, and in the previous two years Edmonton lost to the eventual Cup champs. The King have always played super hard. I think Kings could make the second round easy if they didn’t have to play Edmonton 3 years straight, hell the series isn’t over, for all we know they win 3 straight and win the series. But the Oilers so far seem to have learned the 1-3-1 style the Kings play. As an Oiler fan though, I have never wanted the old playoff format more where the 1st seed play 8th, 2nd, 7th , etc. just cause it’s getting kind of old, and not to mention there’s only two possible team we can play if we do make it to the next round, Vancouver or Nashville. And the way things look, there is a high probability next year will also be Kings/Oilers if the format is the same. Pacific division is just really top heavy with Vancouver, Edmonton, Kings, Vegas at the top, then Seattle, Calgary, Ducks, San Jose. Ducks and San Jose are rebuilding. Calgary is in a rough place, and Seattle is simple a new team who definitely could make it like last year, but with Vancouver stepping up it’s hard.
@@shantygaming694 Oilers got their asses kicked when they actually played a good team. Kings are a shit team so I will discredit them.
61/62 for saves in the last two games. Skinner can take us there
what a stanley cup playoff performance by stuart skinner!.
This version of the Edmonton oilers could do it. I thought, yeah, deep run.. ruffle some feathers. This team has what it takes.
No they don’t. They are playing a very weak Kings team. Lol
@@shakrmakr Kings are weak? Huh??? One of the best even strength teams in the NHL. Also top 5 in almost every important defensive metric. They are a damn good team and could easily beat the Canucks or Preds.
@@shakrmakr Kings have been more than competent. Edmonton knows how to play LA better than most.
The Oilers are now a mature team. They weathered the storm, and absorbed the hits and the pressure.
Go Oilers Go
Nothing short of a miracle !
Statement game by this team. They basically showed LA they can win even if they play the other team’s game. Vegas was right to wait
Not a statement game. The Kings are weak as fuck.
@@shakrmakr Are you gonna sing the same song once Oilers stomp past Canucks next round?
Great effort. Gratulations.
Solid game, great game by skinner He's hitting his stride at the right time. The whole d core played great. Especially Desharnais.😊
A shutout must feel extra good when your team only gets one goal and it's still enough.
They used the Ali rope a dope strategy
Come on TSN you know Skinner was at the all-stars right?
Let’s go Oilers
Oilers played the Kings game better than the Kings in game 4
The wall!
STUUU, we believe in you!!! Don’t listen to the faker daker haters!1!1!1!1!1!
LA finished every check and pounded the Oilers, hoping to put them off their game and provide a better shot to win in a low-scoring game. It just didn't work out for them. They'll do the exact same thing next game, and it might.
if you take into consideration shots that skinner COULD have saved he has 2 straight shutouts on shots he faced directy
Oilers are cup bound bruh
Yes LÀ was brutal t try too much!
Has same amount of shut outs as leafs have wins lmao
Rishaug sucks. “Any critics” You mean you, Ryan?
Wanted to comment the same exact thing, guys been an Oil hater all playoffs
Anyone that knows hockey knows this means ZILCH, might as well praise the NYR for smashing the caps while we're at it. Kings suck, yes he made a bunch of saves but they were nearly all low scoring chance shots. See if he can do this against an actual good team, what history has proven is he can't.
Yeah. IF the Oilers can play defense like that against say Colorado then maybe they can win. I would like someone to show me a GREAT save that Skinner made. I am pulling for Skinner but cmon not all shots are good chances.
Lol imagine comparing the Kings to the caps. The caps aren't a real playoff team
You obviously don’t watch the west if you are comparing the kings to the capitals lol
He hasn't silenced any critics who understnad hockey. He's hot or cold, that's his problem. Unreliable, undependable.
Thats one short leash
